Histo hotel is a beautiful quiet place situated in an 80 hectares wide area, outside of Taranto. Rooms are very spacious , modern and well equipped . Pool area is nice with a pool of 30 m length, and the different blocks of the complex are well refurbished from what before seemed to have been a monastery .
On the very opposite and most disappointing is the non existing management of the hotel. NO good service nowhere! It started with a most unfriendly reception crew , it went on daily with most bad service at breakfast (the guy that should prepare the eggs in the morning just does not show up ..), and service for dinner was so bad that we waited one and a half hour between starter and main course .
In the rooms we had no warm water for 3 of the 4 days we stayed in the hotel, but this didn’t disturb neither the service staff nor the management.
A pity for such a wonderful place !
